This. There's also the come hell or high water aspect of his drives. He's flippin' great at driving (to the left, anyway). But if he incorporates speed changes or a stutter step, he'd be more lethal. And he needs to learn when to bail: clattering into well positioned defender(s) is a recipe for a turnover or charge.

When a top player drives its with his head up and rarely does he go too far, under control, he sees his teammates and makes the pass or determines he's getting to the rack.

Shannon has several great attributes, but he most definitely needs to improve in some areas (which is why he's back). Hope we see marked improvements, on the skills side and decision making.

i'm certainly not dogging T Shannon. Just making an observation about top players who have that unique skill. there aren't many who can go to the bucket,
see the open shooter and in a split second, drive, pass or shoot the ball. two out of three of these can excel. with his size and explosiveness, limiting the turnover and finding a shooter would be excellent and improve us markedly.
